Our Islands - St. Croix

St. Croix

St. Croix is the largest of the United States Virgin Islands – 28 miles long and seven miles at its widest point. Its rolling topography is gentler, flatter than most islands in Caribbean. Here you will find wide extremes in location motifs from parched to lush rainforest with dramatic drives and topography.
